Discount 25% Problem Solution

The solution is given below :

EXPLANATION :

Suppose the price of the Iphone is 100 Rs . { Just Assume 😉 }

You get 25% discount. So that means, you’ll now have to pay 100 X (1-0.25) = 100 X 0.75 = 75 Rs

But now a 20% increase on the discounted price means you’ll pay 75 X (1+0.2) = 75 X 1.2 = 90 Rs

Now, since the final price you have to pay is 90 Rs and Original Price is 100 Rs, You end up getting a Final Discount of 10Rs.

Now we know that 10 Rs of 100 is 10% . So the answer is Option (c) 10%  :)
